gon, as saying that "Oregon 'would win
by some means." and went on to say
that "evidently Referee Burden was the
means.
"Mr. Burden's Integrity and square
ness are not to be questioned," Mr.
Tiffany said this afternoon, "and I can
see no reason for the assertions being
made by the Agricultural College. '
"Burden is not only absolutely
square," Coach Shookley said, "but he
is also thoroughly competent, having
refereed many- amateur and profes
sional matches, both here and In Port
land. In making the assertions they
do against hhn the Aggies are only
demonstrating a spirit of poor sports
manship. In the .meet here two years
ago, when the Aggies won five of six
bouts with Burden as referee, they had
no kick to make.'

"There was not much enthusiasm
anywhere In the Northwestern League
last season. The league opened up
about the same time the Uuited States
declared war against Germany. We
started the season a little too early and
as a result our team ran Into consid
erable wet weather, which helped put

party united and started north over
the Pacific Highway after -Spones had
been taken from his room.
Spores is said to have threatened to
shoot when he was requested tocome

sfsting that he thought the notice that
her mut "go to work or join the

VOLLEYISTS TO TANGLE
Fighting" Jimmy Darcy (Valley
Trambitas) put in another day of hard
work at the Rose City Athletic Club
yesterday, and boxed like a champion.
The battling Roumanian is stepping
50 pen cent better than he was when
he left Portland for his second Cal
ifornia trip, and if Frank Barrieau
beats him he must be a good boy.
Darcy went four rounds with Joe
Swain, the rugged Seattle middle
weight, and four with his lightweight
brother, Alex Trambitas.
"Fighting" Jimmy is out to beat Bar
rieau and beat him bad. In their last
bout, which went four rounds. Tram-
bitas did not get smarted until the
fourth round, and then nearly knocked
the rough Canadian boxen out. This
time they will go six three-minute
rounds, and Darcy thinks that he can
stop Frank at that distance. Barrieau
will arrive here tomorrow or Sunday
Chet Neff. who meets Alex Trambitas
In the wind-up, will meet George Ingle
in Seattle on Tuesday night, March 26,
for the Pacific Coast lightweight cham
pionship, which the latter won by
very close decision from Muff Bronson
in Seattle Tuesday night. Neff will hop
on the train as soon as his bout with
Ingle is over and arrive Wednesday
morning for his bout here Wednesday
night.
Neff is a strong, rugged boy, and
"Caruso" Dan Salt is not afraid to let
him take on two of the best light
weights around here two nights in sue
cession.
If Chet beats Ingle Tuesday night
and wins the title the Portland fans
will get a chance to see a bnttle for
the Pacific Coast lightweight cham
pionship in the semi-windup and Alex
will get a chance to jump back in the
limelight with a vengeance.
Stanley Willis, lightweight champion
of Pennsylvania, is working at the
Cornfoot Shipyards and training hard
every night for his six-round contest
with Pete Mitchie, the battling Dane
in the special event. Mitchie is also
working in one of the local shipyards
and is rounding into good condition.
The other bouts on the card are Joe
Swain, of Seattle, vs. Pat Bradley, of
St. Paul, 158 pounds, and Ted Hoke vs.
Joe Hoff, 125 pounds. One other bout
may be added to the card.
Every boxer on the card to be pre
sented Wednesday night, except the
two main eventers. is a hard-working
man, and all are doing their training
at the Rose City gym at night. The
boys start working at about 7:30 and
the public is admitted. Alex Trambitas
working at the Foundation Ship
building Company; Chet Neff is work-
ng in the shipyards in Seattle; Stan
ley Willis is working at the Cornfoot
yards, while Mitchie is at either the
Northwest or Columbia yards; Joe
Swain is also working for the Corn-
foot Company, while Pat Bradley is
working at an iron foundry; Ted Hoke
at the Foundation plant and Joe
Neff is driving a laundry wagon
Frank Barrieau has been working at
the Union Iron Works in Oakland.
immy Darcy is an ironworker by
trade and was employed at a local
plant here before he left for California
tling, during ihich each of the two 1
men had one fall, and a third fall was
left uncompleted because of signed ar
ticles which prtvided for a decision at
i the end of two 'hours and one-half of
actual wrestling.
Speed and science won over beef, and
Caddock was clearly entitled to his
victory.
The fall obtained by Zbyszko was a
freak and came after Caddock had
clearly demonstrated his superiority
over the big Pol.
The Iowa wrestler, who is a private
at Camp Dodge,' the National Army
cantonment near here, weighed 40
pounds less than his rival and see.med
a stripling in comparison with his' op
ponent rhen the two went upon the
mat.
Caddock was behind nine times dur
ing this fall for a total of 30 minutes
of time, while Zbyszko got behind
seven times and stayed there only 19
minutes all told.
Caddock, however, outwrestled Zbys
sko from the start. After bulling about
the mat , for nine minutes, Caddock
went behind, and although Zbyszko
managed to assume the offensive on
several occasions by use of main
strength, he was unable to gain any
extensive advantage at any time during
the first fall.
The second fall seemed a cinch for
Caddook, who had the Pole bewildered
until the latter, in an effort to break a
dangerous body scissors, rose to bis
feet and toppled over backward. Cad
dock was caught squarely beneath the
uu-pound bulk of his adversary and
was knocked out for 10 minutes
Zzyszko didn't even have to nin his
shoulders to the mat, for Caddock was
unable to turn over.
After 15 minutes' rest, howevee r,H.
dock was on the lob when time wn
called for the third fall, and held his
own until the time limit expired.
The match was witnessed by a crowd
of 6500, all that the bipgest building
in Des Moines could hold, and the re
ceipts were estimated at J51 (inn Manir
of those in attendance were fellow sol
diers from Camp Dodge, where Cad-
aock is stationed. Jack Curlew Zhvs-
zko's manager, said that he believed
it was drawing matters to a fine point
to give Caddock the decision, but that
the Iowa man was probably entitled to
a shade, as he had
Zbyszko during the early part of the
match and had taken the cleaner fall
of two which were gained.

Eater Argument.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
March 21. (Special.) The contention
of Oregon Agricultural College that a
controversy exists between the Uni
versity of Oregon and the -Aggies over
the outcome of the recent .wrestling
meet between the two schols. is entire
ly without foundation,, according to
Graduate Manager Tiffany, who points
out that it takes two parties to make
a controversy and that so far aa Ore
gon is concerned the meet inquestion
is a thing or tne past.
The first intimation that the Aggies
were dissatisfied with the outcome in
any way, except that they lost, was the
appearance in the Corvallis student
paper of a statement that the Black
and Gold lost because of unfair deci
sions bv Referee Burden. The article
quoted Coach Edward Shoekley, of Ore-,
pions at the Y. M. C. A. tonight at
7:S0. They will play three games, best
two out of the three to win. An im
posing array of leading business men
of Portland make up the Rotary Club
aggregation and they are in fighting
trim, for tonights series. The team
has been playing several practice
games a week at the T. M. C. A. and
is confident that it will give the Y. M.
C. A. Northwest titleholders a hard
contest.
The Rotary Club teams will line up
as follows: A. J. Bale, C. E. Couche,
Frank Kerr. W. J. Roope,- H. J. Cress
and J. R. Ellison. Spectators are in
vited to watch the games.
TWO-GAME PLAN" REJECTED
Interscholastic Directors Order New
Basketball Schedule.
a
The directors of the Portland Inter
scholastic Athletic Association, who
are the principals of the high schools,
held a meeting at Multnomah Amateur
Athletic Club yesterday afternoon and
rejected the interscholastic baseball
schedule drawn up by the coaches last
week, which calls for each school to
play each other school twice. The
principals are not in favor of the two
game idea.
President S. F. Ball, of tho Inter
scholastic Association, will call a meet
ing of the coaches again this week and
instruct them to draw up a schedule
calling for each school playing each
other school once,' the same as in
basketball. Nothing else of importance
was brought up at yesterday's meet
ing and another meeting has-' been
called for next week. The coaches will
probably get together today or tomor
row and draw up a new schedule. .

Heavyweight Champion Puts on Ex
hibition at Cantonment.
CHICAGO, March 8. Jess Willard has
started to do his bit for the soldiecs.
Recently he entertained the Jackson
ville (Fla.) cantonment with a fast
work-out with his sparring partner. A
traveler just back from the Squth says
the heavyweight champion plans to en
gage in a series of bouts from time to
time.
Willard is serious about climbing
back into the ring and defending his
title," says the traveler. He leans
great deal toward a match with
Fred Fulton and intends to go through
with his plans along this line, promot
ing the battle himself.
"Of course, he Is impressed with
Dempsey, but thinks that the Sub
marine should first tackle Billy Miske
before he is a contender for the heavy
weight title. If Dempsey gets past
Miske he will have a claim to meet
Fulton. But the way things stand right
now, the champion is anxious to get
into the ring with Fulton, as he really
believes he would have no trouble in
beating the Rochester plasterer.

SYRACUSE, N. Y.. March 10. Syracuse
University basketball authorities have
made their annual bid for a berth in
the Intercollegiate Basketball League
following the yearly clean-up of prac
tically all the teams comDrisinsr the
circuit.
The Salt City players, coached bv
Edmund A. Dollard. a former star bas-
keter and athlete, asks for cntra nee
nto the elite circle, an annual reouest
by the way. It would seem to the Ini
tiated that Syracuse has good crrounds
for being ranked among the best bas
ketball teams in tho country, for under
Dollard the team has won 65 out of 77
games in six years.
Until this season Dollard has had
ittle publicity. He is being ranked,
owever, as the Gilmour Dobie of bas
ketball on account of his ability to
produce winning teams.
Those who consider basketball as a
game favoring the home team must
realize that half of the Syracuse games
ave oeen played on foreign courts
nd that it has been the ability of the
earns, rather than the familiarity with
the home floor, that has given Dollard's
teams the edge.
Lp-state they 'consider Syracuse as
almost unbeatable. Ever since the davs
of "Shorty" Powell, back in 1905, Syra
cuse has been a power in basketball.
Some six years ago Syracuse made a
bid for a berth in the Interscholastic
League.
The circuit was composed of Yale,
Princeton, Cornel, Pennsylvania, Co
lumbia and Dartmouth. The schedule
admitted of ten games played by each
team. Denied a berth in the league.
Syracuse went through the formality of
applying, only to be rejected. Since
then Syracuse has won Umost every
time it started against league teams,
in games either at Syracuse or in the
gymnasiums of the league fives.
In 1909 Pennsylvania defeated Syra
cuse in basketball. It was then that
Penn was the titleholder in the Inter
collegiate League. This year, with Penn
conceded the title, Syracuse .visited
Philadelphia and broke Venn's winning
streak of eight games, defeating the
Red and Blue in Weightman Hall by 27
to 24.
Yale, Columbia and Dartmouth have
been repeatedly beaten by Dollard's
teams, and the rumor that Dartmouth
is to drop out of the circuit next year
gives Syracuse a chance to enter the
fold. If the Salt City lads are wel
comed it is almost a foregone conclu-'
sion that Edmund Dollard, a former
Syracuse athlete and present coach, will
put the finishing touches on a real in
tercollegiate title.
To have lost but 12 games in six
years, or an average of but two a sea
son, is a great record, and one entitled
to give Dollard a look-in as one of the
real basketball coaches of the floor
game.
